Pictured: Jordan Soto (8th, Senior 122); Dan Ngo (Senior 138); Liam Lo (Novice 115); Dylan Doranski (5th, Senior 79); and Seth Winkle (7th, Senior 95).

We are very proud to report that our club qualified five wrestlers to compete at the IKWF State Tournament in Rockford on March 8-9. The top 3 wrestlers from each of 8 sectional tournaments earn a spot to compete in this prestigious event! Our Senior division wrestlers also earned a 3rd place award at the sectional tournament against some of the toughest clubs in the state.
From our five state qualifiers, three of our Seniors brought home some hardware! Congratulations to Dylan Doranski, 5th place at Senior 79 lbs., Seth Winkle, 7th place at Senior 95 lbs., and Jordan Soto, 8th place at Senior 122 lbs. These boys have trained hard for many years to earn these awards, and they proved to be excellent representatives of the Batavia Wrestling Club! Great job to them, their coaches, and all of the people in the club who have supported them along the way!
In the same weekend, three of our former club members who are now wrestlers at Batavia High School competed at the Freshman/Sophomore State Tournament in Springfield and also brought home 4th, 6th, and 8th place medals. We continue to support Batavia wrestling at all levels and ages, and we are excited to see what next season brings. Keep your eye on Batavia wrestling...it's a growing program with a very bright future!
